June 12th, 2025: Accountabilibuddies!
Daily Theme: Originally, u/snoo-ting and I agreed to use our SSL sets today, but u/brokenjaw622 joined forces and so did u/djundjila and u/sahenders. Although BrokenJaw was originally supposed to use SSL with us, some djudges pushed his buttons and he has officially gone rogue. I used Catie's Bubbles for Wildcard Wednesday and he's since been holding my razor hostage, threatening to use it for devious acts!!! Somebody get control of this man!!!
Daily Challenge: I'm sure as soon as he saw the challenge yesterday, he probably knew it would be about him. After recently joining the discord last year, I was asking questions about brushes and u/KerblimeySkal gave me sage advice. I DM'ed asking more questions because I didn't want to blow up the server and he was more than helpful offering me different options to help me with my brush and explained things in smooth brain level of understanding. To be honest, I don't even know what the heck I was asking about and he can attest to my memory issues. Since then, we converse on a regular basis about nonsense, talk each other off ledges when we want to impulse purchase shaving gear, and talk some more nonsense. I consider him a very good friend of mine and that is something I cherish considerably of this hobby. Come for the shaving and stay for the company and the laughs. Thanks man for welcoming and answering a noob's questions and being a friend.
